Today I spent 6 hours replacing my ProSine inverter/charger with a
spare that I had at home. This only required unplumbing the water
maker control panel, removing the hot water tank and then replacing
the charger with the spare. Unfortunately the spare was completely
dead...ARGH! So I had to switch back to the old unit which is having
inverter problems. I've replaced this unit 4 times now. It's a piece
of crap.

I've never been able to explode a Vector charger, now labeled Black &
Decker....

.....just don't let any boaters know you got it at the WalMart auto
center....(c;

There's a 750W unit in the stepvan shop that regularly is maxed out for
long periods of time load testing PA amps. It, occasionally, gets fed up
with me and my loading and auto-shutdowns, but that's after its computer-
controlled cooling fan has been running wide open for an hour or so...

ProSine comes from Waste Marine.....Yep, crap alright.
